Hey Dena, sorry I missed you last week. I am fine in the swelter of this summer, but it is such a hard thing to try and retire from the business I was in.
ReplyDelete1) The Patent office opened before 1800, somewhere between 1790 and 1800
2) 1492, just like the rhyme.
3)Barack Obama was born in 1961
4) 1945
My husband retired last year. Definitely not easy on multiple fronts. Glad you are surviving the summer so far. Your answers this week are 100% spot-on!
